Alabama's new anti-DEI bill, authored by 25 white Republicans, may inadvertently outlaw college football and all Division I NCAA sports. The University of Florida has eliminated its DEI department, sparking protests among students and calls for boycotts from various groups. Florida's Stop W.O.K.E. Act, which restricts DEI initiatives, has faced legal challenges and injunctions, with the Eleventh Circuit affirming an injunction against a similar Florida statute. The move by UF follows a trend in the state, with Florida being one of the first states to enact laws limiting DEI efforts.
